完形填空专项训练
抓好三方面●跨好三大步●做好三结合
------谈完形填空解题技巧 中学生在做完形填空题时存在的问题,概括起来有以下三方面:
1.不善于抓文章的主旨大意,并以此为中心展开对整篇文章的推理、判断,导致理解上出现偏差,甚至和文章的中心相悻。
2.容易受定势思维的影响,对文意分析不透,忽视特定语境中知识的运用。 3.对完形填空题怀有厌倦、 畏惧心理,以至做题时处于应付状态,做题能力得不到提高。 那么,怎样才能提高做完形填空题的能力呢?我们应从以下三方面入手训练思维能力和解题技巧:抓准主旨、透析文意、理清逻辑。并在做题过程中把这三方面与做完形填空的三大步骤“通读、精读、复读”有机结合,明确每步的思维主攻方向。即抓好三方面,跨好三大步,做好三结合。
一、通读短文抓主旨
一般情况下,完形填空短文都不给标题,不容易把握文章的主题和大意。但短文首句通常不设空格,这就为我们窥视文章全貌提供了一个窗口,而尾句往往是文章的总结、结论或点睛之笔,所以抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性的尾句是必要的。借助于首尾句给予的启示,克服不良心理的影响,满怀信心,全神贯注,目光越过空格,注意能体现文章大意的关键词句,尽力从整体上理解短文大意,这是逐空填词的重要依据和基础。如果一开始就忙于见空填空,势必无法从整体上把握全文概要,无法形成连贯的思路,只见树木不见森林,理解偏离文章的中心,造成顾,此失彼的错误,甚至影响做题速度。
抓住了文章的主旨大意后,我们围绕主旨大意去阅读、预测、推理、判断,往往会收到事半功倍的效果。尤其是一些干扰性强,容易使人犯想当然错误的选项就会迎刃而解。 二、精读短文析文意
在基本抓住文章的主旨后,应逐句精读短文,逐题分析选项,对特定的语境做深人的理解,克服“定势思维”,根据全文大意和词不离句,句不离文的原则,逐项填空。切不可以单纯的词汇辨析或语法角度去做题,而应以能否恰如其分地表达文意作为选择最佳答案的唯一标准。要吃透文意,理解到位,我们应做到以下几点:
1.从上下文的角度考虑,注意其内在联系。就题论题,断章取义,忽视上下文的信息提示是我们常犯的错误。因此我们在做题时要注重暗含的信息提示,找准突破口,确保文意畅通。
2.从词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的角度去考虑,准确判断。NMET完形填空题中考查词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的题目逐年增多,必须结合上下文把握文意,研读细节,准确认定语境,才能做好这类题目。
3.从逻辑推理、常识等角度考虑,挖掘文章的寓意及隐含意义。尤其是NMET完形填空短文大都包含一定的哲理和寓意,具备深层探询的可能性,这就要求我们既要明确表层意义,还要理解其深层含义。而结合我们已有的生活常识和社会常识去做题,则会有意想不到的效果,因为每个人的能力不是单一的。
4.从英汉两种语言的差异角度去考虑,避免错误。因为我们在英语学习过程中往往伴随“心译”过程,而出题者则会从母语的角度设置干扰项,在做题时一定要意识到这一点,不要受母语影响,借助平时学习中培养起来的语感,灵活处理。
总之,在逐项填空时应根据全文大意和词不离句,句不离文的原则,把上下文的意思、
句法结构、词类和语法功能、惯用法、逻辑推理常识等各种因素加在一起综合考虑,仔细推敲,选中答案。
三、复读全文再检验
在做完一篇完形填空后,文章完整了,应从头至尾读一遍,根据复读的语感和对整篇短文的理解,再次将较明显的错误改正,个别需要推敲的再做调整,力争尽可能少出错。 另外,要做好完形填空,除了具备扎实的基础知识和快速阅读及理解的能力外,良好的心理素质和思维品质也至关重要。我们在平时训练时不能忽视对后者的训练。 在具体的操作中应注意以下的问题: 1)看清上下文,找准定位词
充分利用文章的上下文和前后句,找到对选择有提示作用的词或句。这些词有时可能是同义词或反义词。例如:
1. Some parts of the water are very shallow. But in some places it is very ______ A. deep B. high C. cold D. dangerous 2)通顺逻辑,寻求搭配
注意固定的搭配,包括动词与介词的搭配、动词与名词的搭配以及形容词与名词的搭配等,同时要根据内容选择正确的短语。例如:
Here’s a fellow who just walked into a bank and helped himself_______ so much money.
A. for B. by C. to D. of
3)扎实基础,搞清辨异
在此类试题的命制上,往往是以同类的词为主,我们不需要去进行具体的辨析,但是我们也要根据文章的意思来进行推断。如:
Soon I heard a________ like that of a door burst in and then a climb of feet. A. sound B. cry C. voice D. shout
When the papers were __________ she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly… A. examined B. completed C. marked D. answered 4)看清执行者,确定所选词
And video cameras can be used to_____people’s actions at home. A. keep B. make C. record D. watch 5)寻求上下逻辑,从容确定关系
It has been many years since I was last in London________ still remember something that happened during that visit.
A. and B. for C. but D. as 6)了解生活常识,确定相关知识
(Immediately ) the officers jumped into their cars and rushed to the_____hospital.
A. animal B. biggest C. plant D. nearest
